Nike Pegasus 42: for which type of runner?

The ideal runner

  • All profiles: Versatility is the keyword. From daily training to recovery sessions, it satisfies both beginners and experts looking for a robust benchmark shoe.
  • Stride type: Universal (neutral). However, innovations in the forefoot ensure great stability and better support underfoot.

Perfect use

  • Daily training: Excellent for runs with responsiveness, ideal for jogging or regular runs.
  • Varied sessions: The Air Zoom and ReactX combo allows you to easily pick up the pace during your rhythmic outings thanks to an increased sense of propulsion.
  • Long runs: With 37 mm at the heel and 27 mm at the toe, it has enough cushioning to protect the runner over time.

What size to choose for the Nike Pegasus 42?

The Nike Pegasus 42 has evolved significantly. Modifications meet the requirements of running enthusiasts: more room for the toes and more cushioning at the tip.

Our advice: Always take your usual running shoe size. The dual-layer mesh upper offers targeted ventilation and the fit remains true to Nike standards.

Wide feet? Since the forefoot has been widened to increase natural comfort, the standard model may suit a larger number of runners than the previous version without systematically needing a wide version.
